Automating with PowerShell: Automating intune Autopilot configuration

So yesterday I was watching a webinar about intune and Autopilot. Autopilot is pretty cool for MSPs because it becomes fairly simple to give users a nice OOBE. It also makes setup for devices a lot less of a hassle, the only issue that was spoken about during the webinar is that there is still a lot of manual clicking.

This is why I took it upon myself to create some automation scripts for AutoPilot. We’re using the Graph API so you’ll need to setup your Secure Application Model before you can use these scripts. You’ll also need to perform the following steps to add a permission to the application:

  • Go to the Azure Portal.
  • Click on Azure Active Directory, now click on “App Registrations”.
  • Find your Secure App Model application. You can search based on the ApplicationID.
  • Go to “API Permissions” and click Add a permission.
  • Choose “Microsoft Graph” and “Application permission”.
  • Search for “Reports” and click on “DeviceManagementServiceConfig.ReadWrite.All”. Click on add permission
  • Do the same for “Delegate Permissions”.
  • Finally, click on “Grant Admin Consent for Company Name.

Importing Device ID’s for autopilot

So one of the first things I noticed is that engineers are still entering device ID’s manually, or uploading CSV files by logging into the portal, etc. That seems like a bit of an hassle to me, so for that you can use the following script.

First you’ll have to create your import CSV file, Most of the time this can be downloaded from your supplier, or requested. When you have this file, execute the script.

########################## Office 365 ############################
$ApplicationId = 'YourApplicationID'
$ApplicationSecret = 'SecretApplicationSecret' | Convertto-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$TenantID = 'YourTenantID'
$RefreshToken = 'SuperSecretRefreshToken'
$upn = 'UPN-Used-To-Generate-Tokens'
$CustomerTenantID = "YOURCLIENTSTENANT.onmicrosoft.com"
$CSVFilePath = "C:\Temp\Import-CSV-YourClientsTenant.txt"
########################## Office 365 ############################
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId, $ApplicationSecret)
write-host "Generating token to log into Intune" -ForegroundColor Green
$graphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.microsoft.com/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $CustomerTenantID
$Header = @{
    Authorization = "Bearer $($graphToken.AccessToken)"
}
write-host "Importing CSV File." -ForegroundColor Green
$CsvFile = Import-Csv $CSVFilePath -Delimiter ","
#$RandGuid = [guid]::NewGuid()
foreach ($Line in $CsvFile) {
    $intuneBody = @{
        orderIdentifier    = "CyberDrain.com Import Script"
        serialNumber       = $line.'Device Serial Number'
        productKey         = $line.'Windows Product ID'
        hardwareIdentifier = $Line.'Hardware Hash'
        state              = @{
            deviceImportStatus   = 'Complete'
            deviceRegistrationId = '1'
            deviceErrorCode      = '15'
            deviceErrorName      = "No Errors Detected"
        }
    } | ConvertTo-Json

    $InTuneDevicesURI = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/importedWindowsAutopilotDeviceIdentities"
    Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $InTuneDevicesURI -Headers $Header -body $intuneBody -Method POST -ContentType "application/json"

}

After executing this script, it’ll appear in your client’s intune portal like this. This can take some time sometimes because of the Sync on the Microsoft side. You can force this by hitting the “Sync” button.

You could easily automate this script to run on a schedule, and just replace the CSV file whenever you want. That way you import your devices with zero-touch.

Adding a Windows Deployment Autopilot Profile

One of the annoying repetitive tasks when you start setting up Autopilot is the Autopilot profile. This script will automate that for you and set the settings to your wishes. I don’t directly apply the profile, because sometimes you just want to make some tiny edits per client before applying.

########################## Office 365 ############################
$ApplicationId = 'YourApplicationID'
$ApplicationSecret = 'SecretApplicationSecret' | Convertto-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$TenantID = 'YourTenantID'
$RefreshToken = 'SuperSecretRefreshToken'

$CustomerTenantID = "YOURCLIENTSTENANT.onmicrosoft.com"

        customErrorMessage                               = "An error has occured. Please contact your IT Administrator"
        installProgressTimeoutInMinutes                  = "15"
        allowDeviceUseOnInstallFailure                   = $true
    }
} | ConvertTo-Json

$InTuneProfileURI = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/windowsAutopilotDeploymentProfiles"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $InTuneProfileURI -Headers $Header -body $intuneBody -Method POST -ContentType "application/json"

And that’s it! Maybe I’ll focus on creating applications via PowerShell and assigning them next time. If you have any requests, let me know!

As always, Happy PowerShelling

The return of CyberDrain CTF

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)

Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring Acronis Backups

Intro

This is a monitoring script requested via Reddit, One of the reddit r/msp users wondered how they can monitor Acronis a little bit easier. I jumped on this because it happened pretty much at the same time that I was asked to speak at the Acronis CyberSummit so it kinda made sense to script this so I have something to demonstrate at my session there.

Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring VSS Snapshots

Intro

Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve just been so swamped with CIPP that I’ve just let the blogging go entirely. It’s a shame because I think out of all my hobbies it’s one I enjoy the most. It’s always nice helping others achieve their scripting target. I even got a couple of LinkedIn questions asking if I was done with blogging but I’m not. Writing always gives me some more piece of mind so I’ll try to catch up again. I know I’ve said that before but this time I’ll follow through. I’m sitting down right now and scheduling the release of 5 blogs in one go. No more whining and no more waiting.
